This is not my story.. Just a touching story to share..
There is a little girl who has a lovely father. But, she never appreciated it. She feels shame when her friends making jokes on her 200 pounds father. She is always sensitive with the word Pig!
Every day, her father sent her to school. This girl never know that is the most happy thing for a child. One day, she cannot stand for the shame anymore.. She told her father no need to send her to school anymore and tell her father the shame she felt every day.
His father ask him what is the steps to put an elephant into the refrigerator. The answer is to open the refrigerator door, put the elephant into it and close the door. He told the girl with smiles, although the elephant is big size, but the refrigerator still willing to fit it into it… The girl smiled and says, “Then you are the elephant in refrigerator…”
Their family is really poor, they just rent a small unit of apartment to stay. One day, the girl ask her father.. Why we dun have home? Her father ask her a question, how to place a giraffe into refrigerator? She say, open the door, chop the giraffe head, put the giraffe into refrigerator and close the door. Her father says, “Don’t make things difficult, you just need to open the door, bring the elephant out, place the giraffe in the refrigerator, then close the door.” He continued, “Girl, you see giraffe also have it house now, the refrigerator is it home… What you need is a home, not a house…”
One day, her mother told her that, “Girl, one day the jungle is on fire. Which animal still alive? Is giraffe! Because you put it into refrigerator…” That girl don’t get what her mother mean and replied, “So?” Her mother cried and said, “The elephant also died in the fire! Your father is dead. He will never come back to us again.” That girl cried out, “Why this happen to me? Why I choose to let elephant stay outside the refrigerator? Why I cannot accept my father big size? ”
The death of father change that girl’s life, happiness and luck no longer belong to her… For others, happy may because you have the one you love as your lover, or you have one love you as your lover, or you have your success in career… For her, happy is just two things, one is to have someone love you and someone you love at the same time, another one is to have a warm home…
What if the giraffe never exist, will the story end happily? No, the elephant will also die because of freezing in the refrigerator…
Sometimes, people may lost their mind, lost in their life and forgot the way to go home… A sub story worth for us to think of it… Recently, she read a lost and found notice in newspaper. There is a bee looking for 5 ants. Maybe the ants are lost or forget their home. So, she called up that bee and told him that she willing to help him to find out the 5 ants. But, the bee told her no need to find the ants for him anymore, because he already gave up. The bee told her that happy is no voice itself. So, you never realize it existence whenever it surround you, and you never appreciated it until the happiness lost in air and never come back to you again…
